While approximately 80% of the “first world’s” population are being thoroughly distracted by 23 men on lawn, devoting their entire attention and passion to a single leather ball for the next 90 minutes, we can’t help but wonder whether this happens to be mere coincidence (if there ever was such a thing in the first place), or not rather part of some diabolical plot to deviate the masses’ attention from issues that really matter.
I’ve come to realize that distraction is one of the Devil’s favorite games, & I’d be thoroughly shocked if it should turn out in the end that he wasn’t involved at all in this disciplinarian master-feat, to have untold millions glued to their tubes simultaneously.
One tends to wonder, “What’s happening in the meantime?” “What’s the old sucker up to?” Well, I have an eery feeling we might not have to wait too long to find out.
In the meantime, I’ll say to those 22 most-observed ball-chasers in the world (at least for the next hour-and-a-half) & their “man in black:” HAVE FUN, BOYS!
